Calling All Electronic Buffs And Programmers

Recommended Posts

We see new detectors on the market that offer to run in one frequency at a time. They have several to offer like the new XP ORX.

In my opinion I think they can come back at a later day and have a update that could give you a multi frequency to run at one time like the Nox.

Back in time it was turn on and go but as we all know today that don’t hold true anymore. That detector has a brain that we can access and I say if I set it up before for a change then I can come later to make that change.

I want your opinion so lay it on me .

If you think you are going to buy a selectable frequency detector and get true multifrequency via an update, I will bet against it. Not because it is technically impossible, but because it would be malfeasance from a sales and profit perspective. In other words, wishful thinking.

Not saying all but most comparison is between the Equinox and whatever they want to show off.
I’ve seen this video between the Equinox and the New Anfibio before.
The funny thing is he put the Anfibio in deep mode to do the testing . Is someone telling me I got to put the Anfibio in this mode to get the most depth. My thinking is when I turn a detector on and set the sensitivity as high as I can get it to run that’s as deep it’s going. I guess with it I hunt this field with the regular settings then go back and hunt it in the deep mode. I say Bull Sh-t !
Have you notice that most never say what the ID is showing.
I’d like to see and I’m sure some are out there testing against their own detectors.
I guess over in the U.K. maybe you want to hear a fair to good tone at fifteen inches. Just maybe the ID is not important to you but to me it is .
Give me a detector that shows a good ID at 6 to 10” and that’s all I’ll ask for . If beyond that it don’t give me a ID then it’s up to me to dig are not.
I did like the tone when it detected something . On hearing some others it was like scratching on a black board .
So many times the person doing the testing never had a Equinox in their hands before.
I could take and nail a coffee can lid on to a broom handle to make the other something less if the need be .

PS Why don’t you just let your detector stand on it’s own.

It is so many single frequency detectors out there and yes some do have more you can access. It really don’t make any difference it’s still one frequency at a time.
What I can’t understand is more are being made and if not on the market already like we’ve seen this year . It will be another nugget and coin detector should be out by the end of November. Oh it’s telling how many frequency you can hunt in but still one at a time.
I know I sound like a broken record saying one at a time but that’s the truth of the matter.
When Minelab came out with the Equinox they raised the bar at a higher level that others have yet to reach . This is what all of the other detector companies have to strive for . If they can just equal the Equinox will keep them in the running.
I don’t see Minelab just sitting back without looking at the Equinox saying how can we make it better.
I myself is swinging a single frequency detector and I do like it . I’m not saying they don’t have a place in the detector market but over time will be less and less .
I’ve owned a Equinox 800 and I loved it but had it with the wait on a small coil so I sold it. If some others don’t come out with something to equal it in early 2019 I’ll get me another Nox .

Our cup runneth over!
Just a few years ago the market for "over 30 kHz nugget detectors" was quite limited. For a long time there were only a few options:
Fisher Gold Bug 2 (71 kHz) $764 with one coil
Minelab Eureka Gold (6.4, 20, & 60 kHz) Discontinued $1049 when new with one coil
White's GMZ (50 kHz) Discontinued $499 when new with one coil
White's GMT (48 khz) $729 with one coil
Things were that way for over a decade. Then in 2015 Makro introduced the Gold Racer (56 kHz) $599 with one coil. Sister company Nokta released the AU Gold Finder (56 kHz) $799 with two coils
Then in 2017 we see the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 (45 khz) at $799 with two coils. And although not a dedicated nugget detector, the Deus high frequency coil options (up to 80 kHz) were also released, $1520 for complete detector with one HF coil.
Now in 2018 we get another general purpose machine, the Equinox 800, that can hit 40 khz, $899 with one coil. And just announced...
the Makro Gold Kruzer (61 kHz) $749 with two coils and
the White's Goldmaster 24K (48 khz) $699 with two coils
These last two announcements have made barely a ripple in the prospecting world, or at least going by other forums that seems to be the case. There are various reason for that (forums not being prospecting oriented or being Minelab centric) but still the lack of buzz is interesting. I do believe people are both burned out by all the new introductions and that the market is saturated with high frequency models. Leaving out the general purpose machines to sum up the current options it looks like the current "sweet spot" for pricing is a high frequency model at $749 with two coils.
Makro Gold Racer 56 kHz - $599 one coil
White's Goldmaster 24K 48 kHz - $599 one coil
White's Goldmaster 24K 48 kHz - $699 two coils
White's GMT 48 khz - $729 one coil
Makro Gold Kruzer 61 kHz - $749 two coils
Fisher Gold Bug 2 71 kHz - $764 one coil
Minelab Gold Monster 1000 45 kHz - $799 two coils
Nokta AU Gold Finder 56 kHz - $799 two coils
High Frequency Gold Nugget Detector Roundup

The big thing one detector company open up in 2018 is a milt frequency. You can pick one at a time are all numbers at one time.
I believe that all other detector companies has to make this their goal too .
I know this is putting the cart before the horse but what frequency numbers do you want to see in the new White’s in 2019 ?
I myself want it more for coin hunting. I still would like to see some high numbers. I want it for small gold if I find myself on a beach are in the gold fields .
Yes I do want to pick what I want to hunt in be one are all .
I hope someone from White’s will chime in just to say they haven’t forgot about us faithful ones .
